Employer Portal

Sign in trouble

The Employer Portal is for employers who hire temporary workers through the International Mobility Program (IMP). It lets employers submit offers of employment for temporary workers who don’t need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Some employers don’t need to submit an offer of employment in the Employer Portal or pay the employer compliance fee. Find out if you’re exempt.

Don’t use code C88 - Innovation when submitting your job offer. If you do, the work permit might be refused.

Changes to your responsibilities as an employer

New regulations came into effect on September 26, 2022, to improve worker protections and increase awareness about workers’ rights in Canada.

Learn more about what you need to do before you create an offer of employment.

This online service will be unavailable from 12:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Tuesday March 19, 2024, Eastern time, in order to perform system maintenance.
